    I am assuming you are dealing with 1099 income. As someone who had that 15+ years ago and didn’t understand some things, I really hope you understood while earning that you have to pay both your portion of Social Security, and your “employer” would pay since you are your employer (even tho it’s BS in this case). I didn’t and owed a huge amount of money. Over US$3k. And I was making $10/hr so that was a lot. I had to get another job to pay it. I hope you’ll be ok and are happy with what you do!

      shit like this is why I won’t declare my upwork earnings. My dad declared nothing for his side job construction work for 30+ years and faced no issues, why should I with my digital work.

      I already found a loophole for not having to pay a fine for lack of insurance. I’m sure I can find one for this. I mean, the 1% do it…
